The Dream-State Indistinguishability Theorem: Why You Could Be In a Dream Right Now and Never Know It

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 24, 2026 Matthew Arthur Carlo

⚠️ Content warning: This paper is a deeply recursive ontological exploration; reader discretion is advised for those sensitive to derealization or existential vertigo. Description: A mathematically rigorous and reader‑directed Carlo-coded paradox demonstrating that all internal evidence available to any observer is fully compatible with both wakefulness and dreaming. This paper proves that no...

The Mathematics of Consciousness: A Unified Formal Framework for Phenomenal Geometry, Information, Dynamics, Prediction, Hierarchy, Reflexivity, and Causal Structure v2

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) August 13, 2026 Matthew Arthur Carlo

This deposit presents a complete mathematical theory of consciousness built from first principles. The work defines a unified object C composed of sixteen interlocking components: phenomenal geometry, generative inference, integration, global accessibility, dynamical evolution, temporal coherence, memory manifolds, reflexive self-modeling, representational mapping, hierarchical structure,...
